He did an incredible job of getting it as close as he did. 99% of the WRs out there would have never even gotten it that close.That was a hell of an effort.

What an effort? He caught it a couple of feet in bounds, he has to have the body control to come down in bounds

The roids are going to that refs head...
I wish the announcer would shut up about this being a "great" game, this game is tarnished...
With that being said, I liked what I saw out of Rivers/Cutler today...gonna be a good rivalry for quite some time...

the broncos went from losing to winning because of a horrendous call. that's about as big and blatant a screw job as you can get. Chargers won that game.

Some horrible calls in this game, but as a Cutler & Marshall owner.........WOW!!! This duo will allow me to overcome my opponent whose WR corps was: Wayne, Megatron & Boldin... Thought I had zero chance...

Agreed. Totally not trying to defend his decisions. Even he admitted to a mistake (or two as you point out) Fact is, that play is non reviewable. Sucks when that happens to determine a game, but it happens in the NFL pretty regularly. But to say he should be fired and that it is a screw job is just silly.

I think it is more the rule than the ref here. He admitted he was wrong, but the rule says the blown whistle kills the play.

Reminded me of the first AFC Championship game in Denver vs the Browns. Broncos take a 21-3 lead. Then the Browns ROAR back to tie it at 31-31, only to lose on the Fumble, 38-33.

Anyone who starts a sentence with LOL should not be calling someone else dumb.

But even if it was deemed a pass, it was a backward pass, meaning the ball was live. The ball landed behind where it was thrown. So they blew the same play twice. First, by ruling it a pass, and then compounding that by ignoring the fact that it was backwards.

I'm not a Charger fan, and I'm disgusted by that call. That "mistake" was huge. San Diego would have gotten the ball back. It was the second time today the refs have taken the ball away from the Chargers on a "mistake" as you call it.

Two TD swing.
Brutal for the Chargers and their fans.
Just brutal.
Actually...brutal for all the fans, like a couple posters already pointed out.

Each year the last few seasons, the NFL has talked about how they've instructed the refs to hold off on blowing the whistle on calls like that where it's close and could either be a fumble or an incompletion (or down by contact). Hoculi has to let that go.And the whistle on that play had nothing to do with the outcome of the play. Cutler kept going and had no chance to get the ball. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but that was a complete screw job.

That is not correct at all.Denver got the benefit of one bad call by the refs---ONE. The other one was a fault by the NFL replay system technology. Nothing to do with the refs or Denver. It was a machine, and even that replay might not have shown a conclusive result to overturn the call on the field.I am glad Denver won, but you had to admit that going for two had to be some kind of shout out by Shanny to SD "You got screwed by a call, here is a way to make things right."Come on, this was a great, great game. Both offensive teams played off the hook and this was a great, great game. Don't let one call take that away.Just think what you would be saying if Denver missed that two....

Hochuli thought Denver was playing the Raiders. That's the only explanation. Only we get screwed like that.

Haven't seen that since Nebraska went for it against Miami (trying to protect a perfect season) in the 1983-1984 Rose Bowl. The Bernie Kosar game...I still think it was the wrong decision, but you have to give him credit for having the balls to call it.

You are delusional if you think Shanahan went for two because he felt bad about a gift call.

No good game can be decided by a referee that blew it so bad he admitted it on air during the game.

If you think the rat went for two because he felt bad the San Diego, then you don't know him at all..

Yeah but the DID stop them. The refs gave it back. They're supposed to stop them twice when the game should've been over?

Here's what I just sent to NFL.com:
I would like an official apology for what transpired in the San Diego- Denver game this afternoon. This puts the NFL at about the same level as the WWE as far as credibility is concerned.
Please send the apology from Mr. Goodell to:
(Home info deleted to avoid crazy Bronco fans)
Thank you,
Steve

This game was tainted by missed calls.

I don't think that's going to do much good.

So what was he supposed to do?He can't call a redo.It was a clear blown call. I admit it. It was a fumble--plain and simple. But SD had recourse, if they stiopped Denver on the next 2 plays or perhaps the 2 point conversion (that is 3 total plays BTW) they win and all is right.I mean ED is one of the most solid refs in the game and you all know it. This isn't a victory you can proud of, but what can be done about it?
Michael Brown
Footballguy
This is COMPLETELY incorrect. You don't put any blame on the crew for not getting the call right in the first place? Had they gotten it right to begin with, it wouldn't have mattered if the machines were working or not.

He is supposed to do what the NFL drills into every ref to do. Don't get whistle happy on close plays. He royally ####ed up and it cost SD the game. Any game decided by a ref who blows it so bad he has to admit it on the air is tainted. No good game can be so decisively decided by a 100% blown call.

I watched the game, Did you or are you relying on ESPN to show you replays?The fumble/INt whatever was called a fumble recovery on the field. And when they showed the replays before going to commercial, it looked like a tough call. Then when CBS came back with the slow mo replay, it showed that his left arm was down. Had they had the view, it would have been overturned, it wouldn't have stood, but the refs on the field had it right based on their field of vision and not without the benefit of slow mo replay, It was one of those split second replays, What about the no-call on Stokely on the goal line where he got hit as the ball arrived. If you look at in slow mo, the DB was there before the ball. It was a no-call. No big deal, the play moved on....

Wow what a bad way to lose? Why would the refs blow the whistle in that type of situation when it is under a minute left in the game. Just horrible. This will be a game that will decide a playoff spot at the end of the season
mad sweeney

No ref has ever been right based on their POV when they blow dead a pass that was a/ a fumble or b/ barring being a fumble it was a backwards pass. Two huge reasons for not blowing the whistle and the refs blew it. Not a split second replay but a double decker game changing error.
There were plenty of bad calls (and non-calls).The two obvious ones were the "interception" on the Chargers' first drive, and the "incomplete pass" on the Broncos' last drive.Great game by both offenses. Bad game by the refs. Bad game by both defenses. Not everyone performs well every week, including the refs. Still, life in the NFL goes on . . .
